Upgrade to eliminate tty in zle suspension
I swear I saw a thread from a vendor selling a kit that eliminates the tty issues with the zl1 1le. Does anyone have a link? I've searched for 30 minutes!
Thanks. |

TTY issue? Just have to replace the bolts. Inexpensive enough and designed as TTY for a reason.

Torque to Yield. They are designed as TTY to ensure proper tension on the fastener. Non TTY bolts can have inconsistent tension because some of the torque measured by the wrench goes to overcoming friction. TTY ensures you’ve achieved the proper tension to keep parts in place.

Copy. I am familiar with what torque to yield is. I was just unaware there was some sort of issue with any tty fasteners on the ZLE.

Found it! Toe links at garage therapy.
Fwiw I just learned that there are single use, tty fasteners in our suspension. I am still learning which are tty. There are a couple of threads so I don't want to incorrectly id the fasteners. https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showt...ight=Tty+bolts Last edited by 2out2sea; 08-08-2019 at 03:19 PM. |

Opinions vary, last I remember reading was only the rear has TTY, "official" word has been who you care to ask if all alignment bolts are TTY

The bolts in question are between $2 and less than $4 each if you get near Dealer cost. I'll take OEM validated fasteners for that price. Your car, your call.

non TTy bolts worked fine on these components. Now you just have to pay every time you have to do something.
